Peter Billiau, CIO, EDF Luminus

Peter is a civil engineer who started his career in hardware Design at Barco. After a few years, Peter moved into the telecommunications sector and was lucky to be there from the early days of the mobile telecom journey. He had the chance to live through the crazy years of dramatic growth, but also learned a lot in the difficult times after the internet bubble exploded. After a few stays abroad (UK and US), Peter moved back to Belgium and joined the banking sector to participate in the necessary restructuring exercises after the 2008 crisis. Since 2012, he is CIO of EDF Luminus, where his challenges are twofold : on the one hand, renew the technological stack to help the company differentiate in a turbulent market. On the other, ensure sustainability, and in particular, ensure that employees stay on board, enjoy their work and deliver sustained performance. A truly innovating journey.
